Chapter 10 – In the Tent

Blossom said, "Shall we begin a circus full of danger!"The crowd went wild as the show truly began. Blossom spun around and she was lifted by cherry blossoms. She walked through the air on her pink path. The cherry blossoms then consumed her and she disappeared. She then came out of the cherry blossoms and threw seeds onto the ground. She poured water onto the ground. Giant Venus fly traps grew out of the ground. Those monsters the seeds had grown had gone beyond a human's imagination that they believe it was an illusion. They crowd clapped wildly. Once again the cherry blossoms consumed Blossom and the monster vanished.

Then clashing knifes were heard. The spotlight was on Scarlet. She juggled knifes. Then the cherry blossoms appeared at the comer of the ring freeing Blossom from its wrath. Blossom eyed Sky who had snuck into the other corner when everyone was watching Blossom. The both had knifes in their hands. They threw they're knifes, aiming at Scarlet. Scarlet threw the seven knifes she was juggling into the air and flew into the air with dodging thirty knifes that had been thrown. Scarlet landed one foot on the ground and caught all seven knifes. She juggled them again. Sky and Blossom had caught each other's knifes that Scarlet had dodged and threw them again. This time Scarlet stayed on the ground when she threw her juggling knifes into the air. She caught ten knifes in each hand, five in her mouth, and five right between her elbows. She then threw those knifes into the air as well. She then caught all thirty-seven knifes that were in the air and juggled them as they fell into her clutches. The crowd started shouting her name. Screaming and yelling of amazement from the crowd. Sebastian knew that was not something a human could do.

Blossom and Scarlet had performed their main acts. Sebastian had realized that they performed in the order they were introduced. That meant he would get to see the boy that could possibly be his young master perform last. Now it was Sky's turn. He came out with a violin. The crowd's noise had fated for they knew a work of art was about to be strummed. He stood in the middle and played a sad melody. The notes were so heavenly that it was believed only a god could play it yet Sky played it. He made no mistakes not even a screech. No one talked. It was like a graveyard once he played. It turned into a party once his performance was over. The applause could spoil a person because of its amazing praise. He had a blue rose in his hand. He threw it into the crowd and as it flew into the air it turned into a bloody red color. The rose was caught by a blonde boy.

Clover came on to the stage. Her beauty was ravishing. As she walked around the stage eyes of many men followed her. She had captivated them with her beauty. She whistled and birds flew in. She commanded them. "Spin through the fire," was one command. Fire circles were set up on stage as well as more obstacles like the snake trap. She even captivated the animals. The beauty of a goddess. Right now she was the queen and this was her green country. Once she was done with the birds she called out a tiger. Sebastian was trying to fight the urge to go up there and pet that tiger. Clover ran around having the tiger follow her. She flew through five fire circles, a pit probably fifty feet deep and a bunch of spikes on the ground. The tiger stepped back for a moment unsure then it looked at Clover. It then ran through the course perfectly only to get Clovers affection. Clover pets the tiger and praised it. Sebastian wonders, was it really worth risking your life, tiger?

Finally it was the siblings turn. A tight rope appeared out of thin air. There you could see the two of them pushing a guillotine. Once it was in the middle Black climbed to the top of it. Bright had positioned herself in the death position. Black held the rope connected to the crossbar which held up the blade. He let it go and the blade was going to cut her head off. Then somehow she broke through the release handle and did a flip over a blade. She stood on the blade for a second. Then she jumped up and grabbed the top of the guillotine in which Black was sitting on. She stood right next to Black. She jumped off and did five flips in mid air. She grabbed the rope, flipped onto it and stood on it without feeling dizzy from all the flips. She smiled a smile of an angel. That was just Bright's show now for Black's.

Black jumped down and grabbed a bow and arrow. He set all his arrows on fire and shot them into the crowd. Each arrow just grazed the middle person in the last row. He then shot dead animals thrown into the air by Blossom. Each arrow he shot hit the dead animal in the eye. Black was a master at the bow and arrow. He was truly an amazing hunter. He was skilled like no other.

Sebastian had not noticed that an hour had gone by and the show was almost over. There was just the final act. The violin played a tune that warned of danger. Clover had called out her tiger to fight Scarlet whom was a master swordsman. He was also to fight Black and Bright. Black, the boy who was skilled with the bow and arrow. Bright, the girl who could do anything and everything. Those three together were godly.

Clover commanded attack. The tiger pranced at Bright. Bright didn't run. Sebastian wondered if she was scared. Black stepped in front to protect her. He was already in position to shoot. He shot the arrow right in the tiger's eye. Sebastian for the first time thought something was cruel. He couldn't stand the site of this while the just of the crowd loved it. Sebastian looked at Hagi and Summer. They looked sicken by this horrid act. Sebastian had turned away for the tiger was now sliced by Scarlet's sword. He looked back when Scarlet was done destroying the tiger. Sebastian noticed that Bright didn't fight. Why doesn't she fight? Sebastian thought. Black shot the tigers other eye out and Scarlet cut the tiger in half. Blossom emerged from the blossoms onto the stage. She lifted Black's, Bright's and Scarlet's hand announcing their victory. The event was now over.

Scarlet changed out of her bloody outfit and into a fresh one. She was worn out. She had to rest for the night show since the afternoon show was over. She remembered she was to pick up the package of new knifes outside. She pulled herself out of her bed and went outside.

"Where is it?" Scarlet questioned herself. She couldn't find the package. "Are you looking for this?" said a boy's voice. Scarlet looked up to see a blonde boy in booty shorts. He threw her the package. "Who are you?" Scarlet asked in a raged voice. She didn't like this boy. "I'm Alois Trancy. I'm a nobleman. I want to meet Black and Bright." Scarlet was surprised by the answer she received.
